However, after years of occupation of Iraq, the U.S. authorities failed to come up with any evidence that Saddam's administration had any links with al-Qaida, or possessed any WMD.

"The U.S. administration's false allegations and the rush toward war and invasion clearly depicted its irresponsibility and the lack of peaceful options when dealing with the world crises," al-Sheikh said.

The U.S. invasion completely destroyed the system in Iraq and substantially decimated the fabric of the Iraqi society, leading to the mass killing of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis as well as the displacement of millions of others, he pointed out.

"Terrorism cannot thrive without a suitable environment. Unfortunately, the discharge of hundreds of thousands of former Iraqi army, in addition to social and economic issues, mainly poverty, ignorance and high rates of unemployment in Iraq serve as an excellent breeding ground for terrorism," al-Sheikh concluded.

As the Iraqi government had failed to bring stability to the country due to sectarian strife and wide spread of corruption and malfunction, the irresponsible pullout of the U.S. troops from Iraq at the end of 2011 left a large security vacuum that gave the extremist group the chance to breathe and recover again in the country.

Ibrahim Awad al-Badri, whose nom de guerre is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was born in 1971 in the city of Samarra, some 120 km north of the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
